im on the hunt for a womans frame for my lady. looking to build something like a single speed townie. i have a wheelset and some other random components, but she is like 5' 1" and its hard to find a frame thats her size and either decent shape or not over priced.

i have a few of these frames lying around although i don't know what sizes off the top of my head. i prefer to take these frames and to throw away 100% of the components and start over. the frames are rad but they were built with the crappiest parts. with a new array of townie parts they are coolest bikes out there. super fun to ride. they can be either geared or single speed.

that would be just about the perfect bike for her, though i know she likes riser styled handlebars better, but those are fantastic. i just really want to get her riding, single speed is more her, i know she wont even change gears, so why bother w/ all that mess.

stylistically risers on a MIxte would look pretty darn weird. i guess it's better to find yourself a very small road frame. they're out there. hopefully someone on this forum and make that happen for you.

I'm looking for a mid to late 90's steel MTB, 19ish inches. I'd rather a steel fork than an old suspension one. If anyone has one collecting dust, gimme a shout. (something like a Trek 930 or Specialized StumpJumper)

the odd thing about that is you could probably get a custom built bike for less. Bridgestone's are alright but to me they are still Asian built bikes and i don't understand why they would sell for more than a fully custom build American bike. it's the Grant Peterson effect is suppose.

he says he gets things from garage sales. it's hard to say if they are stolen but most of the things he has don't work or are missing parts so it's not likely they were locked up at a college and he stole them. it's more likely they were neglected for years and then put out at a garage sale.

I am looking to possibly buy a large-frame (61-63cm) 1970's-80's "classic" road bike. Nothing special - "mass market" Japanese or US brands (e.g., Nishiki, Fuji, Schwinn - but would not object to consider something more "fancy", either!) - would suffice, but the "right" bike for me would have to be in complete, good and original (or upgraded) condition.

I have a 1999 Cannondale R600 (road) that is mostly Shimano 105, decent shape ~ though used. I want to sell it to help pay for a project bike coming up. Looking at Craigslist, similar bikes are ALL OVER THE MAP on price. While not trying to make a million dollars, selling toooo short isn't entertaining either. What seems to be a fair, movable price? Anyone?

Does anybody have an ID bracelet they wear while they ride? I’ve been thinking of getting one, and would like any recommendations of good brands, or if you think it’s a dumb idea, I’d like to know why. Any thoughts?

il Pirati:Does anybody have an ID bracelet they wear while they ride? Any thoughts?

I think it is a great idea! I had a friend at college fall off his bike and break both wrists while riding alone, and ambulance pickup was delayed due to the fact that there was uncertainty about his identity and health insurance coverage. I always carry a card in my saddle bag with all my details, including insurance details. Might also be helpful if the bike gets lost, stolen, or otherwise separated from owner.

I think it's a good idea. I've talked to customers at my work whenever I see somebody wearing one. One guy swore his RoadID had saved his life 3 times. I think RoadID is the gold standard. Easier to find than another ID tucked in a jersey pocket.

I was thinking about a RoadID too. I actually have a light colored lining inside my messenger bag, and just took a black sharpie and wrote on the bag flap my emergency contact's names and numbers, where my insurance card and photo id can be found in my bag, and the fact that i have no known allergies. i figure if someone's trying to identify me the first thing they'll do is crack open my bag and there it'll be. But the bracelet sounds neat. Sorry to go OT. :)

Instead of a Road ID I bought one of these. Its a titanium cuff bracelet. Probably a little more expensive ($53 after engraving and shipping) but it won't get stinky if it gets sweaty. It came today, and is pretty cool, I think.

For sale is a schmidt SON28 hub 36h laced to velocity aerohead rim, with Wheelsmith 14/17 double butted spokes. And a E6 front light with the longer cable uncutted. $360All were purchased from Peter White Cycles about 1 1/2 years ago. The wheel was rebuilt recently because of a small dent on the braking surface. The hub has about 1500 miles on it, and about 200 miles on the new rim. Everything is in good working condition. I will include a spare bulb for the light.

Please contact me at feedthefoon@gmail.com. I have the same ad on craigslist but it's listed cheaper here.
